Benefits of technology

[0009] Hence, there exists a need to develop a high gloss ink without the use of expensive metal-containing pigments and which are effective when used on inexpensive, thin and porous paper commonly used for children's art supplies.
[0010] An alternative means for imparting a shiny appearance or a glossy appearance to children's ink formulations is provided. Specifically, use of a glossy resin is employed that will not penetrate into the paper fiber. As the ink that includes the resin is deposited on top of the paper, a layer of resin is formed relatively free of interruption by p...

Problems solved by technology

However, metallic pigments are usually more expensive than other pigments.
The addition of such pigments into any ink formulation may render the ink too expensive to be used in a children's product, where cost is a pred...

Red Glossy Ink

[0031] To a well-agitated mixture of 39 parts of NEORESIN BT-44, 27 parts of NEORESIN A 1093 (both from NeoResin, Wilmington, Mass.), 27 parts of deionized water and 0.4 parts of SURFYNOL 440 (Air Products, Allentown, Pa.) was added 6.6 parts of ORASPERSE NAPHTHOL Red 2 (Organic Pigment Corporation, Greensboro, S.C.). The mixing was continued for another thirty minutes. 2.0 cc of ink was withdrawn and put into a marker. A color swatch was produced using this glossy ink. Upon drying, the gloss of the color swatch was examined by a gloss meter (BYK) and the result was compared to that of a marker using regular water-based ink of the same color.

Black Glossy Ink

[0032] To a well-agitated mixture of 39 parts of NEORESIN BT-44, 27 parts of NEORESIN A 1093 (both from NeoResin, Wilmington, Mass.), 27 parts of deionized water and 0.4 parts of SURFYNOL 440 (Air Products, Allentown, Pa.) was added 6.6 parts of ECONOJET 101, (Wolstenholme International, West Chicago, Ill.). The mixing was continued for another thirty minutes. 2.0 cc of ink was withdrawn and put into a marker. A color swatch was produced using this glossy ink. Upon drying, the gloss of the color swatch was examined by a gloss meter (BYK) and the result was compared to that of a marker using regular water-based ink of the same color.

Abstract

An improved high gloss ink for use in children's writing instruments is described. The improved high gloss ink avoids the use of metal-containing pigments and their relatively high costs. Further, the inks disclosed herein are affective in imparting a shiny or glossy appearance when dried on a porous or thin paper substrate, such as those commonly used for children's art materials, such as construction paper and paper used to fabricate children's coloring books. Thus, the inks disclosed herein not only provide a shiny or glossy appearance when dried, but also avoid bleed-through problems when used on thin paper substrates.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 496,299, filed Aug. 19, 2003, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND [0002] 1. Technical Field [0003] Improved high gloss inks are disclosed. More specifically, improved high gloss inks that provide a high gloss or shiny coating on permeable substrates such as construction paper and paper used for coloring books are disclosed. [0004] 2. Background of the Related Art [0005] Writing instruments have been pivotal in developing writing skills in children as well as developing their creativity. The success of any writing instrument designed for children depends very much on the amount of time spent by children using these instruments. To prolong this time of use, ink formulators have tried to incorporate special effects in the inks so as to attract the attention children and foster their creativity an...
